Anthracite Coal Fired Live Steam Locomotive @ Knoebels Amusement Park Located in Elysburg, PA.

This is a neat little scaled down locomotive at Knoebels Amusement Park in Elysburg, Pennsylvania. It actually burns anthracite coal which is locally sourced & in a sense is a real train in its own right. It has to be greased, watered, ashed, pressures watched, etc. It crosses a creek twice on its route and the bridge is a vintage steel one dedicated to the train itself. I believe it burns chestnut sized coal. Seeing the firebox glow at night while the train is in motion is pretty cool. I will get a better video of this in action next time I visit (didn't plan on filming this and only had a mediocre quality cell phone to film).
